Storyline
In South Central Los Angeles, street cops Brian and Mike are partners - balls-out cowboys patrolling the streets as Latino gangs are in a power struggle with Blacks. Brian and Mike get lucky a couple of times, making big drug and human-trafficking busts, so a Mexican cartel orders their deaths. We meet Mike's pregnant wife (whom he married out of high school) and watch Brian's search for a soul mate. There are internal squabbles within the ranks of the LAPD and lots of squad-car conversation. Can the lads escape the cartel's murderous reach? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Crazy Credits
This film is dedicated to the men and women of the law enforcement community who face danger daily on our behalf. It is especially dedicated to our fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. This is for all that fight evil so we may not know it. God bless you all.

Shot in a quasi-documentary style with the (unsuccessful) aim of increasing the gritty realism the film relies upon for gravitas, writer-director David Ayer instead should've put more effort into crafting a story that doesn't depend on genre clichés and character stereotypes so frequently. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena share a naturalistic chemistry as the brothers in blue – their abuse-slinging conversations whilst patrolling the streets are often both funny and touching – however they are constantly fighting an uphill battle against cartoonish criminals, outlandish plot contrivances and Ayer's occasionally over-the-top dialogue. And for the love of cinematic common sense, I wish filmmakers would treat baddies brandishing AK47s with more respect; they aren't that bad at hitting a target 20 metres away, especially when there are four of them. A frustrating crime pic that never reaches its potential.
